I am dead serious. There are:

Diabetes Insidus
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000377.htm#Definition

 Diabetes insidus is caused by the inability of the kidneys to conserve
water, which leads to frequent urination and pronounced thirst.

Diabetes Mellitus
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001214.htm

    * Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood. The body makes
little or no insulin, and daily injections of insulin are required to
sustain life. Without proper daily management, medical emergencies can
arise.
    * Type 2 diabetes is far more common than type 1 and makes up 90% or
more of all cases of diabetes. It usually occurs in adulthood. Here, the
pancreas does not make enough insulin to keep blood glucose levels
normal, often because the body does not respond well to the insulin.
Many people with type 2 diabetes do not know they have it, although it
is a serious condition. $B"*(BType 2 diabetes is becoming more common due to
the growing number of older Americans, increasing obesity, and failure
to exercise.
    * Gestational diabetes is high blood glucose that develops at any
time during pregnancy in a person who does not have diabetes.

I know you are talking about this, Jeff:

Type 2 diabetes is becoming more common due to the growing number of
older Americans, increasing obesity, and failure to exercise.
